This Weeks Plan - 11/06/2013

So for the past few days I have not been able to really get
to the computer to write blog posts. I am sorry for that but my wife is
currently finishing off her uni course, I’ve had a cold recently and I’ve been
putting what energy I could into finishing off Entrapment’s editing so I could
send it to my editor.

So whereas I don’t have anything inspirational / advisory /
[insert something here] to pass to you today; I thought I would give you this
week’s plan.

1.First Off I need to write some blog posts, I am
currently looking into writing a supernatural series on the blog about where my
inspirations come from talking about specific cases and their history. The
series will run once a week and will feature ghosts, vampires and other cases
of the supernatural. So stay tuned for that.

2.As well as the supernatural series I want to
write a couple of posts about “6 Things You should Never Do as a Writer”; “6
Reasons Why Reviewing is Good” and “Six good writing books”

3.I might try and write a short story while I wait
for my development editor and subsequently my copy editor to get back to me. I
have an excellent idea in my head and it would be good to get that down on
screen.

4.Finish arrow – this may sound weird to put on
here, but it has been sitting on my recording box now for months and whilst I
wait for feedback, I don’t want to be checking my PC every 10 minutes. Perfect
time to catch up on a series. Plus Elementary just finished and there is a
gaping hole in my life (although The Apprentice) may fill that for a little
while.

5.Go crabbing – yes crabbing is important for my
writing. As I sit there waiting for the elusive 9th crab to equal my
record (at the moment I can only catch 8 it seems – there are others in there,
but they seem to escape the bucket every time I catch them) I think of new
storylines and new characters. It is a great way to relax.

6.Do some more reading. I’ve got tonnes of books
to read. I would really like to get another couple read this week and one or
two reviewed.

7. I am to come up with a couple of competition ideas for when my next book is released. I want to create more interaction on the blog and a competition is a good way to do that.

So those are my plans. Have you got a plan this week? How do
you plan your writing week?
